Abstract 157P
Background
Patients (pts) with advanced SCLC have a rapid relapse after 1L treatment, and only one approved agent (topotecan) for 2L treatment. Surufatinib (S, a small-molecule inhibitor of VEGFR1-3, FGFR1 and CSF-1R) plus toripalimab (T, an anti-PD-1 antibody) has exhibited encouraging efficacy in a neuroendocrine carcinoma cohort in a trial evaluating S + T in pts with selected solid tumors. Here, we report the safety and efficacy results in the SCLC cohort.
Methods
In this cohort of the multicenter, multi-cohort, single-arm phase 2 study (NCT04169672), adults (18-75) with advanced SCLC who had failed 1L systemic chemotherapy (platinum-based systemic chemotherapy) were eligible, and received 3-week cycles of S (250 mg orally, QD) plus T (240 mg IV, Q3W). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1.
Results
At cutoff date (Aug 1, 2021), 20 pts (median age, 58 yrs; ECOG=1, 17 pts; PD-L1 CPS<1, 16 pts) were enrolled and received combination treatment. Median treatment duration of S and T was both 3 mo. Among pts with at least one post-baseline tumor assessment (evaluable pts, n=19), the confirmed ORR (2 PRs) was 10.5% (95%CI 1.3-33.14), DCR was 94.7% (95%CI 73.97-99.87). Median DoR was not reached. Median PFS (mPFS) was 2.96 mo (95%CI 2.79-4.11), and median OS (mOS) was 10.94 mo (95%CI 4.96-NR). In platinum-sensitive (n=8) and -resistant (n=12) subgroups (defined as pts with disease relapsed ≥90 days and <90 days, respectively, after platinum-based chemotherapy), the confirmed ORR (95%CI) in evaluable pts (n=8 and 11) were 0 and 18.2% (2.28-51.78), DCR (95%CI) were 87.5% (47.35-99.68) and 100% (71.51-100), respectively; mPFS (95%CI) were 3.4 mo (1.38-5.59) and 2.96 mo (2.69-4.11), and mOS (95%CI) were not reached (median duration of follow up, 11.10 mo) and 8.87 mo (4.34-NR), respectively. Nine (45%) pts reported TRAEs of grade ≥3, most commonly (≥2 pts) with hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension, both with 2 pts. No TRAEs led to treatment discontinuation or death.
Conclusions
S + T showed a promising anti-tumor activity and an acceptable toxicity for 2L treatment of SCLC. The combination of the two agents might be a novel 2L therapeutic option for SCLC.
